What a nightmare. By implementing the tariffs illegally, and now having to unwind them, the Trump administration created over $100 billion of profit for corporations selling foreign products, at the expense of American consumers.
Your refund: $0.00
Apple’s profit: $2.2 billion
With all the rain we had recently and how it has affected our lakes, here is a before and after of Canyon Lake from May 2025 to now. The image is red because the false color helps with the contrast of the land vs water, helping the features of the lake to stand out. #txwx

Thank you to the survivors of the USS Liberty for traveling to Washington DC on the 59th anniversary of the attack.
Your courage to express the facts is the reason the tragedy of the USS Liberty will not be forgotten.
It was an honor to host you and to speak on your behalf.
AOC refused to vote for my amendment to strip funding for Israel.
She can run her mouth all she wants but votes are the only thing that matters, not a bunch of words and nasty name calling.
This is Intuit data analyst Tom Yacobi during a company-wide meeting wearing his IDF uniform
Yacobi works in TurboTax’s trust and safety team, which handles sensitive customer data
Intuit allows Israeli employees like him to take 3-4 months off to serve in the Israeli army
Would you believe 57 Republicans and 211 Democrats recently voted in favor of this Orwellian automobile kill-switch? Here’s the roll call for the vote I forced to defund the mandate: https://t.co/dnPxPHFYie
@jacknassar33@theafroaussie Here is my Christian great grandfather and his family in the 1930s, in front of their home in Jerusalem which was stolen in 1948 and lived in by Golda Meir. My family traces back to Nablus in the 1500s, and now none live in Palestine, and that is because of Zionism
The Trump admin is going to bail out Spirit Airlines with $500 million of your tax dollars but refuse to do anything to lower the cost of health insurance.
Or cost of living.
Or gas and diesel.
Those are actually going up because of Trump’s war in Iran with no end in sight.
By the way, customers rated Spirit Airlines:
poor customer service, uncomfortable, non-reclining seats, and high fees for luggage.
But Spirit gets a $500 million dollar taxpayer funded bailout.
No you don’t get a DOGE check.
No you don’t get a tariff refund check, actually you pay back tariffs by the billions.
You get another foreign war that you have to pay for and someone you know gets shipped off to serve in.
You get told to shut up and called a “Panican” for being outraged over Trump fighting the Epstein files and calling it a hoax.
And you get the same America LAST bullshit from your government.
It’s absolutely UNREAL.
NOT what America voted for.
The U.S. government has to refund $166 billion in tariffs, PLUS interests.
Trump said he would be paying Americans checks from tariffs and eventually even replace the income tax.
So now not only are you not getting DOGE checks after he cancelled DOGE, you’re not getting tariff checks and paying the interests back on tariffs collected.
And you are also paying $2 billion a day for Trump and Netanyahu’s war in Iran.
And you are paying on avg $4 per gallon gas and inflation is rising again.
The lack of humility and understanding the struggle of regular Americans is astounding to me.
Trump and his lackeys demand loyalty and name call and bully yet Americans struggle more and more.
In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire, on the coordinated route as already announced by Ports and Maritime Organisation of the Islamic Rep. of Iran.
President Trump is sending more military power to the Middle East as Iran rejects our initial peace offers—setting the escalation trap.
We can avoid that trap if we are wise enough not to believe our own hype. Bombing Iranian equipment and killing leaders may produce great hype reels, but if the GWOT taught us anything, it is that tactical success does not equal strategic victory.
To avoid a major disaster, we must first define what is truly vital to our national interests and act accordingly—regardless of optics of the daily news cycle.
We need the Strait of Hormuz open so oil can flow and stability can return to the energy markets and the Gulf region. These are realistic, achievable goals. They can be reached by significantly reducing our military footprint in the region and lifting sanctions on Iran. We can then tout Iran’s agreement not to build a nuclear weapon as a clear win for the media.
The key to avoiding the escalation trap and a disastrous quagmire is restraining Israel by drastically limiting the military aid we provide. Israel cannot sustain this fight without us, and will do everything they can to keep us engaged. We must pursue our own objectives, not theirs.
If we try to impose a maximalist outcome on Iran (zero enrichment, etc.) this war will undoubtedly escalate—costing American lives, billions more dollars, and ultimately eroding our global standing.
We must learn from our past and recognize when it is time to cut our losses and walk away. In the end, working to restore order will strengthen America far more than any military action ever could.
